Thereby, the EPH can also rely on the technological competence of the IHD, its parent companys’ specialists and their valuable experience from more than 50 years of R&D.

Especially in the field of work equipment (office furniture) and furniture intended for use by children (children’s furniture and furniture for schools and educational facilities), EPHs` testing and certification in line with the requirements of “Tested Safety/Geprüfte Sicherheit“ (GS mark) of the Product Safety Act/Produktsicherheitsgesetz (ProdSG) play an important role.

Beyond that, the EPH is also accredited as a GS certification body for all other kinds of furniture, such as modular furniture, outdoor furniture, seating furniture, bedding furniture, laboratory and workshop furniture and special furniture as well as activity toys for indoor and outdoor use.

Thanks to cooperation agreements with national test organisations, the EPH simplifies access for foreign enterprises to the German market.

In addition to that, we offer testing and surveillance services for the RAL Quality Association, German Quality Association Furniture, (Deutsche Guetegemeinschaft Moebel e.V.) and testing in accordance with national standards of other countries (e.g., ANSI, BIFMA and others). Do not hesitate to contact us in that respect.
